At 50, Shilpa Shetty continues to redefine what fitness means. Known for her unwavering commitment to health and wellness, the actor often turns her social media into a motivational space for those seeking
a push to get moving. This week, she reminded fans that discipline and consistency matter more than excuses, even on a Monday morning.
A Challenge That Tests More Than Strength
In a video shared on Instagram, Shilpa Shetty performed Malasana, popularly called the Garland Pose. The posture involves sitting deep in a squat with palms pressed together in front of the chest. While this in itself is a test of hip flexibility and balance, Shilpa raised the bar by rising back to her feet without using her hands for support – executing the move with confidence and poise.
“Hips do not lie – especially when it comes to this mobility move,” she wrote in her caption, instantly sparking curiosity among fitness enthusiasts.

Why Malasana Deserves a Spot in Your Routine
Malasana may look simple, but it works on multiple aspects of physical health:
- Enhances thoracic and lumbar mobility
- Opens tight hips, groin, and ankles
- Strengthens adductors and improves posture
- Serves as a quick joint health check
Shilpa further challenged her followers, noting that the ability to perform this posture is an indicator of above-average mobility and healthy joints.
More Than Just Fitness: A Lifestyle Reminder
What sets Shilpa apart isn’t just her fitness level but her philosophy: movement is medicine. She often blends yoga, functional training, and mindful living, reminding us that fitness is not about age but about attitude. Her consistency, especially in embracing yoga as a way of life, makes her one of Bollywood’s strongest motivators for those struggling with discipline.
If Monday blues ever keep you away from exercise, Shilpa’s feed is the place to find that much-needed dose of “fitspiration.”
